Resident Assistant (RA)

LSU Resident Assistants (RAs) are live-in leaders, role models, and community builders.
As one of the premier student leadership positions on campus, RAs are carefully selected,
placed on a staff team, and trained by the Department of Residential Life to develop
a positive living and learning experience for on-campus residents. RAs create programs
that enhance community, meet residents’ personal and academic needs, build positive
relationships with residents, and create a safe environment where residents have opportunities
to grow academically and socially.

College can be a challenging transition for residents, and RAs should be role models and advocates for various campus resources. Your role as
an RA is to know the residents in your community on a personal level, provide them with guidance and support, and be excited for their successes.

something that is more than just your average job!
